A traveler was once staying in a village of another country. One day, she held up her camera to take
pictures of the children at play. Suddenly the young ones began to shout in protest (反对).
The traveller's face turned red and she said sorry to the head for what she was doing, and told him
she had forgotten that people in some places thought a person would lose his soul (灵魂) if his picture
was taken.
She explained (解释) to him the operation of a camera for a long time. Several times the head tried
to say something, but he couldn't.
